Score 88/100 · Order: Rib tips, sliced brisket, hot links · $16–26
Coop's is a strip-mall counter with a smoker out back and no interest in décor. The rib tips are the specialty, the hot links carry real snap, and the sauce is sweet-forward but optional. Portions are large enough to make the price look like an error.
Local tip: Rib tips are the sleeper order and cost half of what the ribs do.
